How is a T Level different from an Apprenticeship?• T Levels and Apprenticeships are based on the same
employer designed standards but will suit different
learning styles.
• Apprenticeships are paid work, suitable for learners
who know what occupation they want to pursue and
wish to train ‘on the job’.
• T Levels are largely classroom based, with a
substantive industry placement
• T Levels offer a broader course content, and
students will specialise later in their programme. The
content of Apprenticeships is narrower and focussed
on a specific occupation from the outset.
• T Level is the new ‘gold standard’ in technical
education and the technical course of choice for
learners in the future.

Core Component
• Knowledge and understanding of the concepts, theories and principles relevant to the T Level and the broader route.
• Core skills relevant to the T Level.
• Assessed through an external examination, and a substantial employer set project (ESP) undertaken in the classroom setting and set by Awarding Organisation (AO) employer panels.

The Structure of T Levels
• Approximately 1,800 hours over two years
• Learners will need to achieve all elements to receive their T Level certificate.
• Subject content is set by T Level employer panels, developed by Awarding Organisations (AOs), and approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships & Technical Education (“the Institute”). The Institute then oversees the delivery of the qualifications to providers by AOs.
T Level Industry Placement
• Undertaken in an employer setting.
• Minimum of 45 days, between 315-420 hours.
• Students develop technical skills and apply their knowledge in a workplace environment.
• Provider should pay / contribute to travel and subsistence costs, if not covered by the employer.
• Employers are not expected to pay students
Other Requirements
• T Level panels may set occupation-specific requirements, if they are essential for skilled employment, e.g. a licence to practice qualification or professional qualification.
T Level qualification
Technical Qualification (TQ)Between 900-1400 hours / Undertaken in a college / school-based setting
Occupational Specialism(s)
• Knowledge, skills and behaviours required to achieve threshold competence in an occupational specialism.
• Maths, English and digital skills are included where necessary to achieve threshold competence.
• Students must complete at least one occupational specialism.
• Assessed synoptically through rigorous practical assignments.

Industry Placement
Every T Level includes an industry placement with an employer focused
on developing the practical and technical skills required for the
occupation. These will last a minimum of 315 hours (approximately 45
days) but can last longer.
Providers will ensure learners have an industry placement and will
support employers offering industry placements.
This will include assistance with the necessary paperwork, a careful
planning process and support with designing the industry placement.
The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and National
Apprenticeship Service (part of ESFA) are working with employers and
providers on industry placements.

So, what are industry placements?• Time spent learning and working within
an organisation
• Making a meaningful contribution within
that organisation
• Occupationally-specific – developing practical
and technical skills in the subject the student is
studying
• A requirement for all T Level learners
from September 2020 and, for learners on other
vocational programmes
• Employers can offer industry placements as a
block, day release or a mix of these, and can
discuss sharing part of the placement with
another employer if necessary.
• Incentive Payment of £1,000 is paid to an
Employer for delivering a T Level Industry
Placement which commences between 27
May 2021 and 31 July 2022. Take a look at Government guidelines here

Useful tips for providers to look for within a placement
Does the employer and placement……
• offer a safe working environment
• incorporate an induction
• offer relevant tasks and projects for students that
will help them learn the knowledge and skills
• offer appropriate equipment and resources
• provide a mentor or supervisor which can support
the student
• ensure a review procedure is in place (for both
the learner and the provider)
• If successful can this placement be used again?
